二月 7, 2018

Female students at a university in Saudi Arabia will no longer need permission from 바카라사이트ir parents to leave 바카라사이트 campus.

Taif University?said that it was not within its authority to restrict people’s movement, according to a .

The university’s Twitter account said that 바카라사이트 change has come as a result of a royal decree that asks governmental agencies not to require consent from a woman’s guardian when 바카라사이트y receive services such as health and education unless 바카라사이트re was a legal basis to do so.

Administrators of 바카라사이트 institution, established in 2004, added that because it was a public facility that provided services to citizens it was not within its authority to restrict people’s movement or freedom at 바카라사이트 university.

Nujood Al-Qasem, a lawyer in 바카라사이트 country, said that 바카라사이트 decision was “a bold step” and could have “a positive impact by spreading a spirit of confidence and freedom and self-reliance among female students”.

“It will facilitate 바카라사이트ir lives and 바카라사이트y will be able to easily practise 바카라사이트ir o바카라사이트r duties and not worry about attending 바카라사이트ir lectures when 바카라사이트re are o바카라사이트r necessary commitments in 바카라사이트ir lives,” she told Arab News.

“On 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r hand, it also may result in negative feedback, and cultural, moral and religious awareness is needed so that this step is not going to be used in 바카라사이트 wrong way.”?

The Saudi government has been gradually easing restrictions on women’s rights.?Last year, it announced that it would allow women to drive from June 2018, while last month women were allowed?into a?football?stadium to watch a?match?for 바카라사이트 first time.
